Instead the combination reset-face, init-global-faces is used to reproduce the startup the defaults. That is cleaner and seemed (at the time) to work for everyone. However this is already the second bug report where people really wanted the resource settings and custom to mix. Somebody (not me) needs to decide what we actually want customize to do. Moreover somebody with FSF 20.3 needs to test how customize and X resources relate there. Jan
